A welcome Beast from the East! Looks like this is in lieu of the rumoured increase in frequency, for now at least. Seating config 46J/32PE/256Y Total 334, an increase of 54 seats per day.

Re CX
Even if there is no increase in frequency for now, the larger a/c means nearly 20% uplift in seats with increases in all 3 classes. It would be interesting to know the dispersal of pax at HK from the MAN flights and what proportion connect to mainland China.

The first CX 350-1000 gets delivered next month, by the end of the year there will be 6 in total, now math is not my strongest suit, but 6 into 14 doesn't quite work!
Plus bear in mind a new service starts to the US in December which will be operated by the -1000.
So chances are you may see the odd 1 or 2 a week in December.

CX216 CX217 is being sold as a A350-1000 from the 1sr Dec through to 28th Feb.
So if the aircraft is subbed to a A350-900 and it is full there will indeed be problems.
No doubt the unlucky passengers will be sent on the BA shuttle to LHR to connect with one of the CX departures

I've lost track of the Cathay A350 orders, they ordered 900s then upgraded some to 1000s then late last year downgraded 6 back to 900s and then deferred some deliveries. But I think Spanners is right in that they will be lucky to have 5 1000s in use by Dec 1st. Presumably having announced the 1000 on the MAN route must mean alterations elsewhere on the network yet to be published (?) If the 1000 is unavailable- with seats sold then I wouldn't be surprised to see a 777 sub on some services.

Amadeus showing Loganair as re-starting the MAN-GLA route up to 3 times daily from 1st September. Not on their website though.
surely they aren’t coming back to give it another go?

Personally it would be great, live in glasgow, Work in Manchester often and from the Hebrides so those clan Loganair points were great!! I thought it was odd they withdrew as they added direct from Stornoway, Kirkwall and Sumburgh and having one stop alternatives seemed like a good idea and would grow the route potentially (albeit can do via Inverness). They did come off all Eastern operated routes but this is now back to Flybe so maybe they don’t feel the same obligation...
